  I excitedly rolled into Sturgis on Tuesday night and immediately checked out the parade down Main Street.

The past few months have been a blur in many ways from getting to go see and take a few shots of Lindsey Stirling on a Wednesday night, then heading out to cover the Division 4 NHRA races that same weekend, to a change in my “real” job status just prior to the 26th Annual

A great ride, help a charity, set a World’s Record; what more could a soul ask for on a beautiful spring day? How about you add good friends, great music, good BBQ, cold beer and the Colorado Front Range as a backdrop. Yeah, that sounds like a good day, and a hell of a great

A Hollywood script writer couldn’t have dreamed up the story any better.

Editor’s Note: I realize age is sweeping through my drug-soaked brain cells, but somewhere between the SmokeOut last year in RockingOut North Caroling and Las Vegas Bike Fest I lost the Chop-in Block trail.

    Winter in Colorado has been tough for bikers, warm sun during the week, cold and wet on the weekends. Those of us who hold down a regular job have been itching to hit the road. A steady job, good wife, and inclement weather has been the ruin of many a good biker. The

Let’s knock off a few of things fast… First, when wrestling on the beach with a honey, sand has a tendency to get into the most inappropriate places faster than you can say Aunt Jemima. Second, they race in Daytona… Really? Racing on the beach is the reason why Bike Week started, but it is

Even before the V-Twin Expo opened there were comments from some people about the changes scheduled for first weekend in February, 2013. You’re not going to please everyone all the time, so in my opinion I would please the vendors, as they are the ones the show was designed for. Actually it was concocted because
